WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — The White House, State Department and areas throughout D.C. and Maryland lost power Tuesday afternoon due to an explosion at an area power plant. The power went out at the White House for nearly 10 seconds while the State Department conducted its press briefing in the dark. The Justice Department’s power also went down. State Dept. spokesperson Marie Harf says power is now restored to the main building. WNEW’S Chuck Carroll reports D.C. Homeland Security officials believe an explosion at a SMECO power facility in southern Maryland caused the outages. They say there is no indication of terrorism behind the outages. White House press secretary Josh Earnest says Homeland Security has “indicated they don’t currently see a nexus to terrorism or anything like that” in the outages. University of Maryland’s campus in College Park closed at 2 p.m. due to the outage. Power has been restored to some residence halls.

Rand Paul said that he wanted less government, and then the power in DC goes out. It might be just a coincidence, or not? He's probably just good at praying. Nothing like this happened when that Canadian guy announced his candidacy... 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Nothing like this happened when that Canadian guy announced his candidacy... Quite clever of you:)
Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:13-14)
Dateline: 2017 White House press secretary Achmed el-Kabong pictured here on in front of the remains of the Lincoln Memorial insists that neither the President, staff, or Homeland Security "don’t currently see a nexus to terrorism or anything like that." Added el-Kabong, "But workplace accidents are exactly what happens when homophobic Christian crackahs and Islamophobes are allowed to work outside the FEMA Camps during our Great Leader's third term."
